The Dust Bowl

I'm a child from the 1930's going through the horrible times of the dust bowl. I remember when I wanted to go outside, but I couldn't becuase it was to dangerous. I hated school because I had to wear a mask and walk to the school in the strong wind. I couldn't breathe the fresh air instead.I had to make sure the mask was on tight so I wouldn't swallow or inhale any dust. I ate supper with scrapes of dirt. I could hear a crunch in every bite and taste the muddy flavor in my mouth. I could never get a good night sleep because I was affraid how much dirt I would be breathing in. The thing I hated the most was having to worry if my dad was coming home from work. Will this Dust bowl ever end?
